At the opening of a baseball game in Michigan, a 96-year-old WWII veteran sang the US national anthem, uniting Americans in their struggles and progress.
John Pylman stood on the baseball field’s grass, grasping the microphone stand and removing his cap in honor of his country. His patriotism transcended age, and as he prepared to sing, baseball fans joined him.
John Pylman remained composed as he began singing the national song. He sang with zeal, his voice booming with patriotism, and the throng joined in. He sang enthusiastically, like a child, and his tone rose with the second line. The bright stars and broad stripes of the United States flag, which hung high in a section of the field, fueled John’s pride in his nation.
Some baseball fans raised their fists to their hearts, vowing patriotism, honesty, and respect for their nation. Even though they weren’t singing with John, they were all in agreement. Some baseball players stood gallantly on the open field, arms over their hearts, while John’s melody prepared them for a fantastic game.
As John finished the anthem, the fans exploded in cheers. The ancient veteran saluted, signaling the appropriate start for the baseball game.
